Top officials of Andhra Pradesh are clearly an endangered species now. Life is turning even more tough for those who value professional excellence and personal image. Adding to their fears, Jagan Regime is not giving further postings if it’s unhappy with them. Consequently, IAS and IPS officers are under heavy pressure not to ask questions but blindly listen to the political bosses and sign on dotted line as per their wishes. The problem is that the same officials will be made accountable for irregularities and scams in future. This is the reason why senior IAS officer Srilakshmi and others had to go to jail after YSR Regime.

Opposition TDP is referring to this and warning top officials to be cautious before bowing to pressure in Jagan Rule. Former minister Devineni Umamaheswara Rao tells officials to remember the Srilakshmi case and then take a decision on signing as per YCP wishes. Many officials are turning against Jagan advisors and then getting punishment transfers. Surendra Babu is very popular among RTC staff but he was disrespectfully transferred as he didn’t agree to advisors’ proposals. He is not being given further posting. There are many officials who are similarly facing problems.
